Tails from the Crypt: Animal Ghosts with Paul Koudounaris

Wednesday night, come hear Dr. Paul Koudounaris speak on two of his favorite topics, cats and the occult. Along with a slideshow, he will recount tales of “… the ghost of a bratty talking mongoose that pelts you with stones…a red eyed, glowing hound that mocks your every move…a large, headless phantom cat that runs through walls at will, and many more fully documented cases of animal ghosts and apparitions, both good and bad. One of the ghosts is even a local–Valentino’s dog Kabar, who haunts his grave in Calabasas. If grew up on FATE magazine, you cannot miss this event!

You will also enjoy the fantastical atmospheric stylings of Sister Calypso (aka Ali Kellog) and the Invisible Entities of Opulence featuring Nora Keyes, John Perreira, & Sean Ellwood. Disclaimer: Sister Calypso is not Calypso, and Invisible Entities of Opulance are not invisible.

This lecture will provide the perfect innocuous conversational topic for the Thanksgiving dinner table, and if you have to spend the weekend sleeping in some relative’s converted attic, it will make things a little more creepy and interesting. No turkey ghosts seeking vengeance will be discussed.
